  • North Shields Town Trail
    North Shields Town Trail The North Shields Town Trail is a two and half mile circular walk around the town which includes the town centre, Linskill Centre, Northumberland Park and the Fish Quay. The walk takes in many places of interest and buildings of historical note. There is a section of the route (to the Fish Quay via Tanners Bank and back via Union Quay Stairs) which has limited access. An accessible route is available from exiting Northumberland Park and rejoins the route at Tyne Street. The majority of the route is level and on designated footpaths however some surfaces are uneven in places and the terrain in Northumberland Park is undulating. The large print version is designed to be used in conjunction with the published trail, or a version downloaded from www.northshieldstowntrail.org, which includes a detailed route map. North Shields has a vibrant town centre; a green haven in the lovingly restored Victorian era Northumberland Park and a historic working fish quay. Three distinct characteristics of the town are brought together in a circular walk. Step out and discover more about the town’s past, the natural life that thrives in urban North Shields and the fascinating story of the Fish Quay. The original settlement dates to the early 1200s when a series of “shielings” or “shiels” – fisherman’s huts – were established on the Fish Quay. It is from these dwellings that the town gets its name, the shielings being on the North bank of the river. As the town developed, it spread away from the Fish Quay in the 18th Century to its current location with the building of elegant town houses that were home to the wealthy.

    O-369-13 TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER OF: OPPOSITION No. 93508 IN THE NAME OF ERIC VICTOR BURDON TO TRADE MARK APPLICATION No. 2355587 IN THE NAME OF JOHN STEEL ___________________ DECISION ___________________ Introduction 1. This is an appeal from a decision of the Registrar of Trade Marks relating to the question whether one of the original members of a disbanded musical group is entitled to register the name of the group as his trade mark despite objection from another of the original members of the group. The decision under appeal was issued by Mr. George Salthouse on behalf of the Registrar under reference BL O-311-08 on 18 November 2008. I understand that there have in the past been extended negotiations with a view to settling the dispute, but that the parties were in the end unable to reach a compromise. -1- GH\ ANIMALS DECISION 4.9.13.docx O-369-13 The Animals 2. In 1963 five musical performers began working together as members of a group called THE ANIMALS. They were: Eric Burdon (vocalist), Alan Price (keyboard), Hilton Valentine (guitar), John Steel (drums) and Chas Chandler (bass). Alan Price left the group in 1965. He was replaced by Mick Gallaher, who was himself quite quickly replaced by Dave Rowberry. John Steel left the group in March 1966. He was replaced by Barry Jenkins. The members of the group at the time when it broke up in September 1966 were: Eric Burdon, Hilton Valentine, Chas Chandler, Dave Rowberry and Barry Jenkins. 3. The original members of THE ANIMALS (Burdon, Price, Valentine, Steel and Chandler) reunited to play two sell-out shows for a charity fund-raiser at Newcastle City Hall in December 1968.

  • Trade Marks Inter Partes Decision (O/311/08)
    O-311-08 TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER OF APPLICATION No 2355587 BY JOHN STEEL TO REGISTER THE TRADE MARK THE ANIMALS IN CLASSES 9 & 41 AND IN THE MATTER OF OPPOSITION THERETO UNDER NO 93508 BY ERIC VICTOR BURDON BACKGROUND 1) On 11 February 2004, John Steel applied under the Trade Marks Act 1994 for registration of the trade mark THE ANIMALS in respect of the following: In Class 9: “CD’s, musical recordings.” In Class 41 “ Musical live performances.” 2) On 17 June 2005 Eric Victor Burdon filed notice of opposition to the application. The grounds of opposition are in summary: a) The opponent performs under the names/trade marks THE ANIMALS (the Band) / ERIC BURDON and THE ANIMALS and has these names registered in the USA under numbers 76524982 and 76524983. He has spent his career as a lead singer and songwriter of these bands and was inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. b) The applicant was a member of the Band but was never given any ownership rights in respect of the name of the Band. The applicant initially sought to register a series of five marks in respect of a very wide range of goods in Classes 9 and 41. There was never a realistic likelihood of the marks being used on such a range of goods and services and thus there was no bona fide intention of using the mark on the specification requested. The application therefore offends against Section 3(6) of the Trade Marks Act 1994.

  • The Animals, the Rolling Stones: English Artists Find 'Soul'
    The Animals, The Rolling Stones: English Artists Find ‘Soul' Music Is More Than Skin Deep by Louise Criscione KRLA Beat, Sept. 4, 1965 The soul of today's music, the place "where it's at" is rhythm and blues. This type of music, this "soul", has been around the U.S. for decades now and it has always captured a small number of hard core fans, but it has only recently gained acceptance by the whole pop scene. Ironically, R&B has been introduced to the American teenager by the British! Both the Rolling Stones and the Animals, in particular, are responsible for bringing American blues back into the spotlight, back before the eyes and listening ears of the [American] teenager. This situation brings up an interesting question – can a white group, and particularly an English group, successfully imitate the American Negro blues sound? Eric Burdon, lead singer for the Animals and probably one of the most "soul" singers around, does not feel that just any Caucasian can sing the blues with the authentic feel of the American Negro. Must Feel It "Not unless he feels it deeply or is intimately acquainted with it. So that's why the trip to the deep South was especially important to us. It gave us the opportunity to do both," Eric explained. Hilton Valentine, lead guitarist for the Animals, elaborated on Eric's statement: "There's no escaping the fact that the blues is the music of the colored man. It has a deeper meaning in the States, especially in the deep South, where they have the racial problem and widespread discrimination against minorities." Eric believes that in England the racial problem is entirely different.
